Recognising Objects by their Silhouette
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an object recognition system that identifies objects by their silhouette from single views of a greyscale camera. The centroidal profile describing the object boundary is matched with boundaries from a model base using a dynamic programming technique. Objects are modelled by a multi-view representation which can either be learned from a set of images or generated from a geometric model. Experiments with non-rigid and polyhedral objects show the validity of this approach.

Silhouettes Fusion for 3D Shapes Modeling with Ghost Object Removal
In this paper, we investigate a practical framework to compute a 3D shape estimation of multiple objects in real-time from silhouette probability maps in multi-view environments. A popular method called Shape From Silhouette (SFS), computes a 3D shape estimation from binary silhouette masks. This method has several limitations: The acquisition space is limited to the intersection of the camera ...

متن کاملA Real Time System for Detection and Tracking of People and Recognizing Their Activities
Recently, there has been a movement in computer vision from the processing of static images to the processing of video sequences. Current research has begun to investigate the recognition of human activities taking place in the scene. Applications such as video database, virtual reality interfaces, smart surveillance systems all have in common to track and interpret human activities. We propose...
متن کاملSilhouettes: a graphical aid to the interpretation and validation of cluster analysis
Abstract: A new graphical display is proposed for partitioning techniques. Each cluster is represented by a so-called silhouette, which is based on the comparison of its tightness and separation. This silhouette shows which objects he well within their cluster, and which ones are merely somewhere in between clusters. The entire clustering is displayed by combining the silhouettes into a single ...
متن کاملSilhouette Extraction for Visual Hull Reconstruction
Most of volumetric 3D reconstruction methods need accurate silhouette information of foreground objects for the reliable 3D scene reconstruction of the objects. We present an approach to silhouette extraction based on our change detection method [1] using a statistical model and graph cuts based optimization. We describe some requirements for visual hull reconstruction. We show that our change ...
